agreed. i didn't downvote the thread starter because this is how our media always writes about prison deaths, but that's on purpose. they shape the way we talk about these things in order to shape how we think about it. i think the thread starter is legitimately trying to disseminate exactly what happened, but the hegemonic language of the elite has infiltrated how they discuss these things through no specific fault of their own. i left a reply to the thread starter that was meant to directly critique the institutions and systems that lead to this without calling the thread starter themself the problem.

back when it was coming out biopunk and cyberpunk were a lot more genre fluid

there's a more recent and more accurate comp from germany who had a bad moustache inspired by charlie chaplan's moustache. he, individually, is why no one wears their facial hair like that anymore

it's telling that the starburies were worse shoes than jordans, but they weren't $150 worse. if their workers had been paid, they probably still would have cost more, but they engaged in the exact same sweat shop labor as nike and adidas and offered a product for nearly 1/10th the price

this has always been the dirty trick of fascism. you won't get a cushy job for running off your marginalized neighbor or isolating yourself from the countries you've long exploited. you will instead become the new marginalized class, and your community will become the exploited colony of the empire.

yup. and both of them would explore how deeply terrifying it was being forward scouts through their art, and particularly how being an artist made them valuable as scouts

Dr Doom is a Jack Kirby creation and I've been living with the realization that as a forward scout for the US Army in Nazi Germany, many of his villains are reflections of what he witnessed the Nazis to be. Whatever Dr Doom is, I'm fully ready to understand 47 to be as well

 

there's something beautiful that every individual has their own image for what Baberaham Lincoln looks like. like you read that, and it evokes for you in your head your very own Baberaham Lincoln

 

I just want to have a discussion about this. All of the remakes and reboots hollywood has done throughout its history have always been a way of just making money by putting all the money on "sure" bets, things that producers already know people like because they were successful before, but there's something exceptionally soulless about the Disney reboots.

There seems to be no true desire to introduce a new generation to stories they weren't familiar with, but instead a desire to just rewrite disneys entire catalog to be presented in a new aesthetic. It's a homogenization of film to a single set of techniques and looks. Capitalism is directly strangling creativity and it's being successful enough that it's seemingly never going to stop. I mean. They're rebooting movies that aren't even 20 years old yet at this point. There are people in college seeing promos for reboots of movies their parents took them to as kids.

It's creating this environment where we're all stuck in this moment that already passed. The media we consume now was written in response to events that happened already, have passed us by, and can no longer be addressed. Any attempts to make new media that meet our current moment are stifled by studios who just... Don't care.

 

Well y'all finally went and did it. You got me to comment in your community, so now I gotta post something before I leave. I hope you're happy. I mean honestly. Is this what you wanted? Do you like this? Do you like my shitty shit post?

Don't ever let it be said I don't follow the rules

For the screen readers: This is a very small preying mantis that was on my door this morning. It is about the length of my first finger's first bone (the finger tip).

 

Not much to add. Saw it in another technology forum and thought it also belonged here for the solarpunks
